The adage goes, 'records are made to be broken,' and quarterback records for the Arkansas Razorbacks fall often by the wayside over the decades. Just two years ago, KJ Jefferson eclipsed Tyler Wilson’s 2012 career-yardage mark and Brandon Allen’s 2015 record for career touchdowns.
For his efforts, Jefferson was persona non-grata in Fayetteville by the time Bobby Petrino returned as offensive coordinator. As head coach, Petrino shepherded the college careers of Wilson, Allen and the-late Ryan Mallett, who previously held the single-season touchdown and aforementioned standards. When Petrino returned in 2024, he chose current Razorback quarterback Taylen Green out of the transfer portal to succeed Jefferson and make more record-setting runs in their first year together on The Hill.
